My Heart is a Kaleidoscope: Don't take it personally.
…There’s a better way of saying it than calling yourself “fat”. If anything, say you “weigh more than you want to” or “wish you were skinnier”. It’s not that hard. And honestly, when most stick-thin girls call themselves fat in front of other people, we know they’re looking…
Plus sometimes a fat girl has to realise that she can actually accept “fat” as part of her identity (though not all of her identity), and then realise that it’s not a negative term if you don’t want it to be, and there is a whole community out there for her to feel a part of. When a thin chick whines that she’s fat it just reinforces the negative connotations. It still pisses me off when my tiny friends complain that they’ve gained weight, but it’s a hell of a lot nicer than them calling themselves fat and shitting on something that matters a lot to me.
